As the final quarter of the year begins, markets are grappling with rising interest rates and continued economic uncertainty. These factors led the S&P 500 to decline 3.3% (with reinvested dividends) during the third quarter while the U.S. Aggregate bond index lost 3.2%. On the surface, these issues echo the many concerns that investors faced last year when inflation and higher rates resulted in a bear market. Other factors including the narrowly averted government shutdown and cracks in China's economy have also added to investor fears. Amid the seemingly constant stream of negative headlines, how can long-term investors stay positive as they prepare for the final months of the year? Despite heightened volatility in the third quarter, the S&P 500 has held onto positive gains with the S&P 500 generating a total return of 13.1% year-to-date, with dividends, and the Nasdaq gaining 27.1%. This is in sharp contrast to last year's bear market and is further evidence that markets can rebound with little notice. The index has been propelled by sectors such as Communication Services (+40.4%), Information Technology (+34.7%), and Consumer Discretionary (+26.7%). Returns in these areas have more than offset poor performances by sectors such as Utilities (-14.4%) and Real Estate (-5.4%).
